Qualification System

In Europe,
each team will play once against each of the other teams in their
group. Based on the results from these group matches, a total of 10
teams will qualify according to the following: - The two best teams from each qualification group will qualify; and - The the two best 3rd placed teams will qualify.The
calculation of the best 3rd teams will follow this order: 1. Average
number of points 2. Average goal difference 3. Average scored goals 4.

*Since
the number of teams between the qualification groups differs, the group
sizes will be equalised by removing the results from the matches
against the lowest placed teams in the larger-sized group before
comparing the average results.
